Right on, Jon. Ever since childhood I've thought badly of such bromides as...
Think positive (stupid sentiment and bad English)
Look on the bright side
Everything will work out
Don't dwell on your mistakes
Trust in (insert deity of choice)
because it seemed that, the more I analyzed and corrected my mistakes, the better things went.
At least the British wartime injunction "Keep calm and carry on" didn't contain any assurances that "carrying on" would work.
I think all of us here have a responsibility to not only report our own screw-ups, but also to point out dangerous setups and practices when others reveal them. Any annoyance the latter may cause is far outweighed by the satisfaction of perhaps saving someone from harm.
